Silly sips for a bunch of bucks!

With the hot and humid weather my city’s been experiencing lately, I’ve turned to various ways to beat the heat and keep myself comfortable: taking colder showers, sleeping naked, eating ice-cream, drinking more water. I’ve also been enjoying more iced-teas and smoothies.

One day, whilst meeting a friend who works at a Starbucks in my neighbourhood, I noticed they had a Green Tea Frappuccino on the menu. I went for it even though I’m usually dead set against ordering over-priced fancy schmancy drinks with long silly names that sometimes damage the true essence of the main ingredients. In this case, Matcha.

Green Tea Frappuccino.

This Frappuccino was a blend of Matcha and milk, lightly sweetened, and poured over ice. You may have it as is or topped with whipped cream which I had. Hey! Go big or go home, eh?

With whipped cream!

I’m not gonna lie. It was delicious! Creamy and refreshing, with a hint of Matcha. Though I do prefer my Matcha made the traditional way, this is an indulgence I can handle occasionally. It is definitely not something I could drink regularly, hot outside or not. It’s not the healthiest thing and it could leave me penniless!

Coffee, Tea or Me?

I am a lifelong tea drinker and a Certified Tea Sommelier! I’m also a globetrotter, an avid runner, and a big foodie. I’m a pretty private person so setting up this blog is a big step for me to expose myself, though it is centred on tea. It also gives me a chance to re-discover my creative side through writing, photography, and even cooking. I also have a very quirky sense of humour and will joke on just about anything! Really, I'm a bit of a goofball!
